Energy Northwest; Notice of Site Visit

July 13, 2004.
    Energy Northwest, Licensee for the Packwood Lake Hydroelectric 
Project (FERC No. 2244), will be hosting a site visit for the project 
on August 27, 2004. The site visit is being conducted to provide all 
parties interested in the Project's relicensing an opportunity to view 
the project's facilities and surrounding area. Commission staff will be 
attending the site visit and providing an overview of the Commission's 
Integrated Licensing Process (ILP), the process Energy Northwest is 
currently pursuing for the licensing of the project.
    Under the ILP, the Commission conducts its National Environmental 
Policy Act (NEPA) scoping meeting within 90 days of the filing of the 
Licensee's Notice of Intent. A site visit is typically held in 
conjunction with that scoping meeting. However, access to some project 
facilities may be limited by winter weather during the early part of 
the year when scoping for this project is currently planned, in 2005. 
For this reason, it is unlikely that the Commission will host its own 
site visit in conjunction with its NEPA scoping meeting. Subsequently, 
the Commission encourages all interested parties to participate in this 
site visit to ensure a productive scoping meeting early next year. 
Details of the site visit follow:

    Date and Time: August 27, 2004 at 11 a.m. (PST).
    Location: Packwood Lake Project's Powerhouse, 179 Powerhouse 
Road, Packwood, WA.

    Transportation will be provided from the powerhouse to the 
reservoir. Due to the remote location of the reservoir, some hiking 
will be involved (approximately 2 miles). Please dress accordingly. 
Additionally, it is recommended that parties interested in attending 
bring a bag lunch.
    If you are planning to attend the site visit or require further 
information or directions, please contact Ms. Laura Schinnell of Energy 
Northwest at: (509) 372-5123 or via e-mail at: northwest.com">lschinnell@energy-northwest.com.

Magalie R. Salas,
Secretary.
